Convert SVG to PNG
Many places that take a logo or icon, from social sites to office documents, want a PNG rather than an SVG. Photostar opens the SVG, keeps its shapes as layers you can still change, and saves a PNG with a transparent background.
Photostar is a free online Photoshop alternative that runs in your browser. There is no account to make, and your files stay on your device.
Open an SVG fileOpens the free editor. Nothing is uploaded.How to do it
- Open the SVG. Use the button above, or drop the .svg file onto Photostar.
- Change anything you need. Shapes open as shape layers and groups as layer groups, so you can recolour or hide parts before exporting.
- Set the size. For a bigger PNG, choose Image → Image Size first, or type a width in the export dialog.
- Export as PNG. Choose File → Export As, pick PNG and click Export. Areas with nothing drawn stay transparent.
